The Ridgeway

And still this one eludes me, work commitments meant that training for this event was far from ideal, but i had put the hours in and felt confident i could put up a reasonable showing, a few people at work have had heavy colds but i had done best to avoid them, felt fine during the week leading up to the race but woke up Friday with a sore throat and dodgy head and by Saturday morning i had a full on man flu, had it been a 50 miler or shorter i probably would have given it a go but at 86 miles it's a bit far to run when you are not even feeling 10%, annoying on 2 fronts, it's a great race, and it was 2 points towards my UTMB entry......
